Big Green Challenge Launches

The good people at the Big Green Challenge asked me to publicise the details of the application procedure:

Today marks the opening of the application process for the Big Green Challenge and I wondered if you’d be interested in writing a follow up post on this? We want to get as many people as possible working together to develop home-grown ideas into carbon-cutting initiatives, so it’d be really great if you could help spread the word!

Initial applications must be submitted by 29 February, after which the top 100 will be whittled down to a short list of ten finalists, each of whom will receive £20,000, mentoring and support to put their ideas into practice. The group with the most imaginative and successful approach at the end of the competition will win the lion’s share of £1 million. Those interested in taking part in the Big Green Challenge should go to www.biggreenchallenge.org.uk to find out more and submit an application.

Looks like a pretty good bet to me, so if you've got any good ideas, why not give it a go?
